Doug Martin left the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury, which likely helped the decline of our offense. Jameis forced passes where they should not have been thrown and, as a result, he threw interceptions and many incomplete passes.
Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals was a reality check for the Buccaneers, who started out on a high note and a wake-up call for fans who have playoffs and Super Bowl aspirations. However, it is only one game and the second week, for a team who has been rebuilding for two years, I would not give up on our season just yet. Tampa should take this loss as a learning experience in order to prepare better for the rest of the teams on the schedule.
